Open Registration for Summer Classes Under Way

Students currently enrolled at the College may register for the summer term online through the College’s Passport.

Prospective new students should first submit an online application to the College at polk.edu. After doing so, they will be scheduled for an orientation session, during which they will register for their first classes.

A complete, step-by-step guide to the admissions process is available at the College’s website, under the “Admissions” tab. The guide provides students with information such as how to apply for financial aid, how to request transcripts, and when to schedule placement testing. The website also provides an online course catalog, which will help in choosing and planning a course of study.

Summer classes begin May 8 and end August 6. Summer classes are offered in six-, eight- and 12-week sessions. For start and end dates of each session, see the academic calendar.
